Summer heat is coming on. This is so important. I wonder about how baking soda works in this.

Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte)

1 quart water	1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. Lite salt	6 to 10 tsp. granulated sugar

Optional Ingredient: Package of Kool-Aid for color and flavoring.
Mix well. Replaces lost electrolytes due to dehydration (diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc.).

AHA!! SEE!! He has a recipe for baby formula. Why are all these people whining that the government should fix it.

Sorry. This should be in the Rant for the Day.

Great site Jazz. In addition to food items, it's helpful to know how to make your own hygiene items. Even if you have a good supply, might be a good idea to have the recipes handy. I make my own soap (as do so many) but also deodorant and toothpaste, laundry soap, hmm, can't think what else. I will say after using my own toothpaste, there is a reason they tell you to spit that store bought stuff out.

ladylocust, i agree it is a real good idea to learn how to make some basic things. i make a few things for myself. the way things are going it will be even more important.

one thing that works good--zinc oxide. not only for diaper rash, skin protection, UV sun protection but its a great deodorant just a little bit goes a long way. . a 16oz jar for around $9-10 has lasted close to 2 years.
